Abstract
This article presents the Expressive Arts Model for training substance abuse workers and treating substance abuse clients in a group setting. The objectives of this model are congruent with the treatment goals of the disease model of addiction: to facilitate a change in the client’s self-awareness and attitude, which can, in turn, change feelings, thinking and behavior (Johnson, 1980). Our objectives for training substance abuse workers are similar to the treatment goals for substance abuse clients: increased selfexpression, self-awareness, an enhanced sense of relatedness to others and a strengthened conviction that each person has responsibility for the quality of his/her own life.
